By the first few months of 1982, it had become more common to see electronics stores, toy stores, and discount variety stops selling 2600 games. This was before Electronics Boutique, Software Etc., and later, GameStop. Mostly you bought games at stores that sold other electronic products, like Sears or Consumer Distributors. Toys ’R’ Us was a big seller of 2600 games. To buy one, you had to get a piece of paper from the Atari aisle, bring it to the cashier, pay for it, and then wait at a pickup window behind the cash register lanes.

Justin Timberlake included a Prince tribute in his Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night – and the internet is skeptical.
As TMZ predicted, Timberlake performed before a massive projection of Prince and sang along to a snippet of the late musician’s “I Would Die 4 U.”
The verdict? We’ll let Twitter take it from here:
GET THIS PRINCE SONG OUT OF YOUR FILTHY MOUTH JUSTIN.

Turns out Superman isn’t the only dear departed alien in the DC cinematic universe.
Justice League confirms what we long suspected – that David Bowie and Prince were aliens, too.
Much of Justice League revolves around the world’s collective grief over the death of Superman. It’s evident in the influx of parademons who feed on fear (… just go with it), in the conversations the characters are having, in the news reports and headlines scattered throughout the movie.
